Capture asset data for a digital twin model

00:03

With Autodesk Tandem, you and your project team can contribute to a single digital hub by capturing required data for a digital handover.

00:13

Once a facility template has been specified, you can begin mapping asset types.

00:19

One method of capturing asset data is to select assets directly in the viewer, and then capture data using the Properties Panel.

00:29

To make the selection process easier, in this example, Facility views is clicked to switch to the user-saved HVAC view.

00:40

In the viewer, select an element.

00:43

Then, open the Properties Panel for the selected element.

00:48

To assign a classification, which will apply the associated parameters,

00:53

expand the Classification drop-down and select the appropriate category.

00:59

Once a value is set for any of these parameters, such as the Asset Tag or Commissioning date,

01:05

the asset is now considered a tagged asset and will count toward the total tagged asset limits of your subscription.

01:13

With the Properties Panel still open,

01:16

you can continue to capture asset data by selecting elements in the viewer and then allocating properties.

01:23

Here, the HeatRecoverUnit is selected, and the Commission date is July 15, 2021”.

01:30

Another way to capture asset data is to use the Inventory Panel, which provides a broader data set.

01:38

Click the Inventory tab to open a data table that includes a line item for each asset that matches the currently applied filters.

01:47

The Inventory Panel enables typical table-style interaction.

01:52

To fill down, right-click a cell and select Copy column value to all rows.

01:60

To add an additional filter, open the filter rows feature in the heading, and use the Filter field to select a filter value.

02:09

In this case, the table is filtered to show only Ducts.

02:13

Note that this filtering does not change any selections in the Filter Panel, as these filters operate separately.

02:20

If you prefer to work with the data in Excel, click Export, enter a file name, and then click Download to create an Excel file.

02:32

To import your changes, click Import, then drag and drop the modified Excel file into the box.

02:40

The data is automatically added to the Inventory Panel.

02:45

Lastly, for data that is already included in your Revit files, you have the option of mapping these values to the associated parameter sets.

02:54

On the Assets tab, under Parameters, locate, select, and expand a parameter to map.

03:03

Then, begin typing to select the desired parameter set.

03:07

Here you can see that the serial number in the authoring model has been mapped to the Serial Number parameter in Tandem.

03:15

For this example, click on Name, and then populate the name field with the suffix information that came from the authoring model.

03:25

You now know how to capture asset data using both the Properties Panel and the Inventory Panel,

03:31

as well as how to map data in your Revit files to parameter sets.
